Which versions of donotinstallthisistest6 are malicious?

The following PyPI versions of donotinstallthisistest6 are flagged malicious: 1.0.0. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate donotinstallthisistest6 if I installed it?

donotinstallthisistest6 is built to steal secrets, so assume every credential the build or runtime could read is compromised. Remove it from your project and lockfile, then rotate ALL exposed secrets — npm/registry tokens, cloud keys, CI/CD secrets, SSH keys, and any .env values — from a known-clean machine. Audit logs for unauthorized use of those credentials.

I already installed donotinstallthisistest6 — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If donotinstallthisistest6 was installed, its post-install payload may already have run. Removing the package does not undo that — check outbound connections and credential use from the install window onward.

Is donotinstallthisistest6 part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — donotinstallthisistest6 is associated with the GENERIC-standard-pypi-install-pentest campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.

How do I find donotinstallthisistest6 across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for donotinstallthisistest6 (version 1.0.0).
